I think the best thing you can do about this is confront your boyfriend about it and ask him to give the mone back. Theoretically you might be able to take legal action, but the filing fee for the court would probably be more than 50$ and then you all of the opportunity cost of wasting time in court. Attorneys fees for a legal action like this could run into several hundred dollars. If you really feel strongly about it, I think the best thing to do would be to contact either the local police or your local court to see about making a small claim.
